A lady can't just become TV's next great espionagette these days--she's got to pay homage to the reigning top dog, Carrie (aka Claire Danes on Homeland). And that even goes for our beloved Keri Russell, whose drama The Americans premieres on FX January 30. Fresh-out pics show Keri's Russian-spy character in action--so I think it's high time we had a tough-face face-off to see how the new girl's stares measure up.

First, there's the "yeah, it's me, and I need to talk to you NOW" face. Keri's quiet power gives me goosebumps, but it's hard to beat Claire's wild-eyed urgency.

Then we've got the requisite baseball-cap-hidden, troubled mug. I'm gonna say this one goes to Keri 'cause Claire looks a little too out of control.
